9A thorn hath gone up into the hand of a drunkard, And a parable in the mouth of fools.
10Great is the Former of all, And He is rewarding a fool, And is rewarding transgressors.
11As a dog hath returned to its vomit, A fool is repeating his folly.
12Thou hast seen a man wise in his own eyes, More hope of a fool than of him!
13The slothful hath said, 'A lion is in the way, A lion is in the broad places.'
